Chapter 480 New Wedding

Three days later, the wedding of Chief Knight Carter Lannis and Star of the West May was held in the castle garden.

In addition to the families of both parties, attendees also included all members of the Star Flower Troupe, the City Hall and the Witches' Union.

In this era, marriage ceremonies were generally witnessed by the church. The weddings of royal nobles were witnessed by regional bishops. Then ordinary nobles and wealthy businessmen invited priests or officiants to come to bless them based on their status and wealth. Common people had to go to the church themselves and pay a fee. For the cost of several silver wolves, the priest can perform the wedding ceremony for him. Of course, there are many people who cannot afford this price and live together directly.

Now that the church no longer has a foothold in the West, the wedding host will naturally be replaced by the city hall. In Roland's plan, the city hall will send officials to issue marriage certificates free of charge and register both parties in the marriage. This time Carter's wedding It is an excellent example of publicity - he even thought of the slogan, which is "convenient, legal and zero cost".

When May appeared in the garden in her wedding dress, there was a cry of exclamation. Although she was not a witch, her unique temperament as a famous actor still attracted everyone's attention. Even Roland had to sigh, Carter's vision Not bad indeed. If it weren't for better publicity and the knight's repeated begging, he would have been reluctant to take out the wedding dress early.

Carter Lannis, the other protagonist of the wedding, appeared in a black dress with the same extraordinary temperament. Coupled with his handsome and well-groomed face, the two of them standing together looked like a match made in heaven.

"They look really good together," Anna exclaimed.

"Sooner or later we will have such a day," Roland squeezed her hand gently, "then everyone will know your name."

"Yeah," she tilted her head and smiled.

It is easy to marry a witch, but it is very difficult to gain the approval of the majority of the people in the territory. It is difficult to achieve this without having absolute power or extremely high reputation. Therefore, the most basic thing is to wait until the civil war in the kingdom subsides and he becomes the well-deserved King of Graycastle before marrying Anna - he doesn't want others to think that Anna is just a witch he secretly hides as a plaything, just like what the nobles did in the past. .

However, Roland believes that this day will not be too far away. The Demonic Moon has ended, and the town will be fully operational in preparation for the spring offensive. Soon a thunderous blow will fall on Tifeko, destroying his throne. Completely shattered.

"The two exchanged tokens...well, what follows is..." The official from the city hall was obviously not familiar with the new marriage process compiled by Roland. He lowered his head and looked at the record book, "The couple kissed."

"Wow..." There was a burst of cheers at the scene. The members of the Star Flower Troupe, especially Irene, excitedly grabbed the dawn light and swayed from side to side, and pulled others to clap and cheer for Mei.

"Isn't it just a kiss," Lightning curled his lips, "Every time he comes back from an adventure, my dad has to be kissed several times by the maids."

"Gu..." Maisie, who was squatting above her head, tilted her head and covered her face with one wing, but... pigeons have eyes on both sides of their heads.

"Your Highness, is this process... really good for you?" Shujuan said, holding his forehead.

"It's a special case. Not every newlywed couple has to be like this." Roland smiled, "After all, it is used for publicity. The more eye-catching the better." After saying this, he looked at Soraya, "You have to use it for publicity." Draw this moment in detail!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me," the latter looked at the two of them without blinking. The magic pen in her hand shone brightly, and it was obvious that she was also very interested in it.

Carter was obviously a little nervous about this step. After being stunned for a moment, May finally took the initiative to stand up on tiptoes and kissed him.

There was a burst of warm applause in the garden.

"Finally, please give your blessing to His Highness the Prince."

Roland walked out of the crowd, came to the two of them, patted Carter on the shoulder, "Well done." Then he said to May, "I wish you happiness."

"Is this okay..." Carter hesitated.

"Of course, go back and have a good rest. I'll give you two days off," Roland said with a smile. "Vade should arrive in the town in the afternoon. Just leave the work to him."

"Thank you, Your Highness," the two of them said in unison, smiling at each other.

Then the wedding came to an end with a burst of echoing simulated lively firecrackers.

In the afternoon, General Manager Barov and Minister of Construction Karl came to the castle office to report to Roland the progress of the town's three-way project.

"So far, all the water supply equipment in each residential area has been installed, and most of the heating pipes have been buried," Karl said, pointing to a town planning map, "But... the power supply part is still far away, except for you In addition to the guided factory area that is about to be completed, the four residential areas are still in the trenching and trenching stage - this part of the work has almost stopped since you went to Longsong Fortress."

Roland nodded. There was nothing he could do about it. Apart from him, no one else could understand what the circuit was and how the current worked. If we want all the townspeople to use electric lighting, it may not be until April or May. "It doesn't matter. Now that the evil month has passed, the construction of the heating part can be slowed down. The next most important things are the power supply project and the construction of Kingdom Avenue. The former is related to the use of time, and the latter is the key to strengthening the connection between the two places after the city is built. "He ordered, "In addition, after the completion of the Kingdom Highway, do not dismiss the redundant workers, but continue to build the road connecting the shoals."

"You mean...the mountainous area leading to the south?"

"Yes, that will be our entrance and exit directly to the sea," Roland confirmed. When Tilly and her group return to Sleeping Island, Lian should set foot in the Western Territory again. By then, with the help of Earl Speer, the mountain passage will be opened more quickly. "Besides, after the establishment of Neverwinter City, those handymen will also be my subjects. When the Kingdom Road is completed, I will grant them official resident status." He looked at Barov, "I will leave this to you. .”

"yes."

"In addition, the construction of the community should not stop, whether it is extending to the open space between the town and the fortress, or developing to the south bank of the Chishui River. The focus this year is still to expand the population. I hope that by the end of the year, the city's population can double Three times more.”

Barov took a breath and said, "Your Highness, that's almost 100,000 people."

"And the Western Territory can definitely support so many people," Roland said solemnly, "You can make it a planning goal."

Graycastle is not without population potential. It is a large city with more than 20,000 people, and the suburban population used to support it is at least about 100,000. The more prosperous the city, the larger the scale of the latter - this is also a phenomenon caused by the limitations of contemporary backward agricultural standards. There are no such restrictions in the Western Region, and with the introduction of steam engines, so many people are not needed to maintain material supplies.

"Finally, since the factory area has electric lighting, after the city was built, it was changed to three shifts of production, especially the ammunition processing part," the prince said to the manager of the city hall. "Each period is calculated based on the past daily salary. The more you work, the more you work." The more, the greater the rewards. You can start promoting it from today on, and I hope that the factory will not stop for a moment until we completely unify Graycastle."

"As you command, Your Highness," Barov bowed and responded. (To be continued.)
